Plugin Browser for Mod Organizer 2

Description

This plugin is designed to bridge the gap between your local setup and the Nexus Mods ecosystem, ensuring your MO2 extensions are always up to date without the manual legwork.

Main features

• []Integrated Plugin Browser -  A dedicated UI inside Mod Organizer 2 that allows you to browse and discover new extensions directly within the app. Mod cards feature high-quality imagery, smart multiline text elision for clean titles, and essential metadata like file size and upload dates.[/]

  []Background Update Monitoring - The extension uses a non-blocking, asynchronous engine to check for updates to your installed MO2 plugins in the background. It won't freeze your UI while it talks to the Nexus Mods API, ensuring your modding experience stays smooth.[/]

  []Smart "Main File" Logic - Tired of getting notified for optional "old version" files? The update checker specifically filters for "Main" category files and uses position-based sorting to ensure it only alerts you when a legitimate primary update is available.[/]

  []Seamless Diagnostic Integration - When an update is found, the standard MO2 "Warning Triangle" appears. You can click the "Fix" button (Guided Fix) to jump straight into the browser and address the update immediately.[/]

  []Reliable Version Tracking - Uses a robust tuple-based comparison method to accurately detect new versions, handling common versioning quirks like "v1. 0" vs "1. 0. 0" without crashing or providing false positives.[/]
